Meaning of Lyan

Lyan (pronounced LYE-an) weaves together many threads: it echoes the French “lion,” roars a little like India’s proud “Singh,” and even brushes the Sanskrit word “laya,” a gentle hint of refuge and rhythm. The name feels short and snappy, yet it carries the king-of-the-jungle swagger—a tiny cub with a crown too big for his curls. Over the past decade, American parents have quietly championed Lyan, letting it climb the charts one confident paw-step at a time. In an Indian living room, a grandmother might say it rolls off the tongue like a quick tabla beat; in a U.S. playground, a coach might shout it like a rallying cry. Wherever it lands, Lyan beams with courage, warmth, and a dash of mischief—the kind of boy who will chase kites, dream big, and still be home in time for mango lassi.
